2015 Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina

So I decided to buy this now.

I am a little bit confused regarding the model, I definitely want a 13 inch retina.

But I have seen two different models:

Apple MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.7 13" Early 2015

Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 3.1 13" Early 2015

What's the difference? Are both still available?

Also, there's no such thing as a "late 2015" version of the 13 inch, right?

Same computer, different processor. One has an i5 @2.7GHz, the other an i7 @3.1GHz. CPU won't make a noticable difference to performance. If you want to upgrade any component, you'd be better spending extra money towards a bump in storage.

Correct, no version of a Late 2015.

I'd skip the i7 on the 13" model as you'll not see much of any improvement.

Yeah should be fine, but storage query only you can really answer. Depends how much stuff you're looking to store on it. If you're just using it for light work/studying/browsing, 128GB should be enough.

8GB RAM is fine, but I would go for a 512GB storage.

I'm typing this on a 2015 2.7ghz w/8gb of RAM.

I chose it over the 2016 models for the better keyboard and the full complement of legacy ports.

It's doing fine.
